If your mailserver running on the same machine stops to accept connections or 
timeouts, you can use external mailserver (not localhost) to prevent this and 
deliver mail immediately. If delay is no problem, then you can enable event 
queue in Monit which will make Monit to retry alert delivery.

For example:

  set eventqueue basedir /var/monit


More details in Monit manual:
